A Holiday Love Note
Central Oregon, you are our home and we are grateful to have had your love and support throughout 2025 every time you chose to shop with us. What a year we are wrapping up and frankly, 2026 is set to be a doozy, with big news coming soon. Until the new year, with your help, we have some giving to do!
Our Food For February giving campaign is here! Reminder that we match customer donations at the register in the month of December, up to $32,500. You, our friends, neighbors and visitors have the opportunity to double your giving dollars this holiday season. Your hard earned money you so generously give to fight hunger in Central Oregon stays right here at home and helps our neighbors. The beneficiaries of your giving use the donated money to purchase food at wholesale price to fill their kitchens and pantries.
- Newport Ave. Market: Family Kitchen is the recipient, we will match up to $20,000 in customer donations.
- Oliver Lemon’s Sisters: Sisters Kiwanis is the recipient, we will match up to $5,000 in customer donations.
- Oliver Lemon’s in Terrebonne: Family Kitchen is the recipient, we will match up to $5,000 in customer donations.
- Ollie’s Kitchen in Redmond: Family Kitchen is the recipient, we will match up to $2,500 in customer donations.
The only way we can give is because people choose to shop with us. We are a 100% Employee Owned Company and when you shop with us, you keep your money in Central Oregon AND allow us to give generously to our community.
To our nonprofit recipients, the good-doers in our community, the volunteers that give of their time, talent and resources; Thank you for all you do to ensure everyone has access to good food. Everyone deserves a meal, regardless of circumstance.
From myself and my colleagues at all of our locations; Newport Ave. Market, Oliver Lemon’s in Sisters & Terrebonne and Ollie’s Kitchen in Redmond a big, heart felt thank you. Thank you for bringing such joy to our aisles with your continued support not just of us, but our neighborhoods in Central Oregon. You make it all worth it.
With love and gratitude,

How It Works
Every dollar donated by shoppers in December will be matched 100% by Rudy’s Market Inc. (up to $32,500)—doubling the impact of every gift. Funds raised will go directly to Family Kitchen and Sisters Kiwanis Food Bank, organizations dedicated to feeding individuals and families in Bend, Redmond, and Sisters areas. These nonprofits will use the funds to purchase fresh produce, meat, and other essentials at wholesale prices—stretching every dollar to feed more people.
